Elliot Ridge, South Dakota

Black Hills, SD Expedition No. 100: Lupe a little way S of the summit of Elliot Ridge. The entire ridge burned in the 83,000 acre Jasper Fire that started August 8, 2000 when a woman stopped a couple of miles W of Jewel Cave National Monument to pee. She lit a match and let it drop on the ground. Before leaving she watched as pine needles lit up and the fire started to spread. Photo is looking SSE (2014-10-16). Photo by Lupe !.
